Your workflow is a complicated affair (to put it mildly), so I guess you would need to write a particularly versatile utility to help you with it, or a completely different operating system. You seem more than capable to do both, so any advice I can give you is severely limited by my layman status. (I shudder to think of what one could see on your computer screen using Exposé.) However, you could do some workarounds, like assigning different browsers to different Spaces, and making Terminal available in all spaces. Another possibility: make your browser available in all Spaces, and minimize windows to the Dock before switching spaces. These steps are not going to solve your problems, but might help you manage the mess.
